DR. ALICE EVELYN LOADMAN (nee GAMBLE) Peacefully on November 22, 2004, after a lengthy illness, beloved mother of Mary and Nancy. She was born on January 23, 1916 in Cardiff, Wales, the daughter of Ernest and Alice Leily Gamble (nee Hanes). She and her family came to Winnipeg, Canada in 1927 eventually settling in Norwood. Evelyn attended Earl Grey and Kelvin High Schools. She then began a distinguished academic career, culminating in her medical degree. Evelyn went on to specialize in pediatrics and spent many happy and productive years working for the City of Winnipeg and the Child Development Clinic of the Health Sciences Centre in Winnipeg. In 1942 she married Dr. Bruce Loadman and together they had four children, Allison, Susan, Mary and Nancy. She will always be remembered as a wise and loving mother and a very actively involved grandmother. Evelyn was a true and loyal friend. She met and overcame many adversities with determination, grace and humour. Evelyn was predeceased by her husband Bruce; sister Winnifred; and her beloved daughters, Susan and Allison. She is survived by her daughters, Mary and Nancy and sons-in-law Christopher Fultz and Timothy Fultz, and Derek Lloyd; as well as her sister-in-law Rita Loadman. She will always live in the hearts and minds of her grandchildren, Jennifer, Joanna, Ben and Megan Fultz and Matthew and Jonathan Lloyd. She enjoyed a fond relationship with nephews Don and Gordon Loadman and Alan Richmond and families, and niece Lois Eadie and family. The family would like to thank the 5th floor staff at Poseidon Care Centre for their kind, attentive care. We also deeply appreciated the care given to Evelyn by the staff and doctors at the Victoria Hospital.
